mne.viz.mne_analyze_colormap#

mne.viz.mne_analyze_colormap(limits=[5, 10, 15], format='vtk')[source]#

Return a colormap similar to that used by mne_analyze.

Parameters:

limitslist (or array) of length 3 or 6: Bounds for the colormap, which will be mirrored across zero if length 3, or completely specified (and potentially asymmetric) if length 6.
formatstr: Type of colormap to return. If ‘matplotlib’, will return a matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap. If ‘vtk’, will return an RGBA array of shape (256, 4).

Returns:

cmapinstance of colormap | array: A teal->blue->gray->red->yellow colormap. See docstring of the ‘format’ argument for further details.

Notes

For this will return a colormap that will display correctly for data that are scaled by the plotting function to span [-fmax, fmax].
